Gorbea or Gorbeia is a mountain and massif, the highest in
Biscay and Alava (Basque Country, Spain), with a height of 1,481 m AMSL. The
massif covers a wide area between the two provinces.
The entire massif has been enclosed in a natural park of 200
km² created by the Basque Government in 1994 to preserve the local flora of
beech and oak and fauna of wild boar and deer. The main access points for the
mountain are Murgia from Alava and Areatza from Biscay.
Enrique Etxebarria is a shepherd who takes his flocks every
May to the higher pastures at Gorbeia for the summer months, the transhumance.
